Transplanting

Distance between plants 12 to 15 inches. Distance between rows 2 to 3 feet. Plant seedlings a little deep (up to the plant’s first 2 true leaves). This method prevents the plant from being top heavy and bending over, which grows into having a tough neck.

Harvesting

Use a knife to cut the stem when the heads are very firm but before cracked. Small cabbages will then develop from the sides of the cut.
